Jakub Volner has been appointed as the new Head of Industrial Agency at JLL Slovakia. Jakub joined the company in 2016 and during his time he enjoyed the professional experience at the Industrial Agency department while working on some of the largest lease transactions as well as significant sales of several production halls across Slovakia.


In his new role, Jakub will hold responsibility to maintain and develop key business relationships while advising existing and new clients in terms of leasing, acquisition, disposal and development of their commercial real estates. Jakub displays energy, passion for business, proactive client approach and clear understanding of transactional business combined with the knowledge of the industrial and logistics market.

Peter Nitschneider, Country Manager JLL Slovakia, says: „Industrial Agency has always played an integral part of our business in Slovakia and within this sector especially, we were able to secure several milestone deals throughout the years. Just in the last 24 months, we helped landlords and tenants to lease or dispose of more than 184,000 sqm of warehouses and logistic space in Slovakia. Helping our employees to achieve their professional and career ambitions is deeply rooted in our priorities and I believe that Jakub’s appointment will further enhance our performance of this key business line.“

Jakub Volner (29) joined JLL in 2016. During his career, he advised on new lease contracts to several key market players such as Constellium (15,000 sq m in CTPark Žilina), Humana (12,000 sq m in Martin), DSV (30,000 sq m in Senec), GymBeam (7,500 sq m in Košice) and others. He studied at the Technical University of Košice and holds a Master's Degree from Mechanical Engineering – Automotive Production.
